Gratitude for Grand: High Five for Health
Our virtual fundraiser from September 22-29 has come to a close. We greatly appreciate all those who participated by giving High Fives for Health and those organizations that sponsored our event! We had over 160 award recipients this year! Words cannot express our gratitude enough. This support allows Grand County Rural Health to continue its valuable programs and services to help our community stay healthy. And to those lucky enough to receive a High Five award… thank you for all that you do! Together we are #GrandCountyStrong!
At Grand County Rural Health Network, we believe everyone has the right to healthcare and to understand how to access that care. We have the resources and capabilities to help everyone living in our community access care.
GCPH Vaccine Clinics: Let’s get vaccinated Grand County!
Grand County Rural Health Network continues to support Grand County Public Health with COVID-19 vaccine clinics, whether it’s by coordinating medical and non-medical volunteer through Outbreak of Kindness (currently no volunteers are needed) or getting the word out to the community.
Anyone over the age of 12 may now get vaccinated. Pfizer is the only vaccine available for children ages 12 – 17. Safeway and City Market pharmacies, plus Fraser Medical Clinic and Byers Peak Family Medicine are now offering Pfizer vaccines.
Now you can make your appointment for the date and location that works best for you, and you do NOT need to be a patient of the clinic or medical provider to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at their facility.
Visit https://www.co.grand.co.us/vaccine to view all the clinic options. Sign up today!

Racial Justice
We believe that everyone in our community should have what they need to thrive and be healthy. We advocate for health equity and know that health is more than health care. We know that different people need different things to be as healthy as possible. Societal constructs, such as policy and practices, get in the way of health and negatively impact individuals and communities, including people of color – our children, friends, family, and neighbors. We believe in racial justice and overcoming the systemic injustices that so drastically impact health due to race.
We are committed to health equity and justice, to working with partners and individuals to build equitable systems in our community and state. We stand in solidarity with the millions of people across the country who experience racial injustice and the trauma caused by generations of oppression. We commit to listening to people experiencing oppression and working to end oppression so that each individual, and our community, can thrive.
